REVIEWS FOR A Long Trail Rolling

“vivid, light and fast-paced…it will appeal in particular to anyone interested in American… history, and in general to those looking for a ripping good read…meticulously researched and…the author knows her subject. She also clearly knows about horses, which she would as she trained as an equine vet at the University of California, Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine. I’m looking forward to reading The Hills of Gold Unchanging, the next volume in the Aleksandra and Xavier saga”–Deborah Challinor, number one bestselling author and historian

“The mystery, adventure, and danger of life in Utah in the 1860s is beautifully described…an authentic, emotional story of one woman’s fight for survival in an unforgiving landscape. I couldn’t put Lizzi Tremayne’s book down.”–Leeanna Morgan, USA Today bestselling author

“An impressive debut from a New Zealand (ex-American) author…a romance, a western, and an adventure story, all rolled up into a compelling read…I devoured this one and am hungry for more.”–Booksellers NZ

AUDIENCE AND FEATURES:A historical romantic thriller saga of the Old West with a multicultural cast of those who make up America, it would interest readers who enjoy sagas, horses, American Indians, immigrants, and the Pony Express. It features a capable heroine, subtle use of everyday historical detail, period veterinary treatment and frontier-pushing characters. It compares to the work of Phillipa Gregory, Diana Gabaldon and Jean Auel, plus a little Laura Ingalls Wilder.
